This offseason was universally proclaimed a success for the Clippers. With the acquisitions of Jared Dudley and J.J. Redick, they made massive upgrades on the wings and also added some interesting versatility with tweener forward Antawn Jamison. The undercover star of last season’s team, Matt Barnes, was re-signed to a[...]

We’re going waaaaayyyyyy back for this one — October 30th, 2008 to be exact. Just one day after the Clippers lost to the Lakers by 38 points to start the 2008-09 season. The two will ironically meet up again on opening night this season, but I have a feeling the result will be much different. This fantastic[...]

Over at ESPNLA.com, I harped for the last time on the Clippers lack of a defined style or identity, and the perils of being satisfied with just “being better” than your opponent. This is an excerpt, so to read the full post, click here. *** Three teams last year finished in the top-10 in offensive and defen[...]

In those five games, he averaged 5.8 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in 15.8 minutes per night. Davies graduated from Brig[...]

One of the first auditory memories I have about the Chris Paul trade and this new era of Clippers is D.J. Foster consoling distraught fans about letting Eric Gordon go in the deal. Sure, the premier point guard in the league is always a deal you make if it’s available, but the Clippers were supposed to navigate t[...]

(Ed. note: Shout out to ClipperBlog reader Paul Rubinfeld who suggested the #tbt idea many moons ago. #tbt may not have been his creation, but smashing it into ClipperBlog certainly was.
